Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Starting on or about January 20, 2026, investors may elect to separate the units so that the Class A shares and warrants trade independently on Nasdaq under the symbols ITHA and ITHAW, respectively. Units that are not separated will continue to trade as units under ITHAU. To separate holdings, unit owners must have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the company’s transfer agent.
